Huge Jill Shalvis fan, and Iβm enjoying her newest trilogy focused on three brothers working on renovation construction and finding love. Β Set in the mythical small town of Star Falls, California, the town has a legend that a soulmate will enter the life of anyone who sees three falling stars arching together across the sky.
The Colburn brothers grew up with an abusive father and are now struggling to adjust to caring for him after a personality- changing stroke. Β The trilogy began with HE FALLS FIRST, where protective oldest sibling Ryder falls in love with caterer Penny, as they both put their lives together following personal trauma.
The second book in the series, FREE FALLING, forces former college rivals to work together on a construction renovation project. Emma Sumner just needs to make a great impression, handling the renovation for her new boss to make her temporary architecture job permanent and get her feet under her. Unfortunately, the project manager she has to work with is Caleb Colburn, the hotshot hockey star from college who had everything easy.
Calebβs brother is finally giving him the chance to prove he can handle more responsibility and not get involved romantically with a client. But how can he resist the crush from his past? Sweet, fast read with a little bit of spice as enemies become lovers as they see the past from a different point of view and learn to trust each other. Best read in order, and I'm waiting impatiently for the final book, FALLING INTO YOU.
Retired hockey player Caleb Colburn needs this construction project to prove himself in the family business, but he also needs to recover from the injury that ended his pro career. Too bad Emma Sumner, architect liaison and Caleb's college nemesis, is back in town and assigned to the project. They're going to have to see each other almost every day. Which means once again she'll make his life a living hell.
As for Emma, her job is on the line with this big project, made all the more challenging by the project manager. Caleb was the one who had snagged the scholarship she'd desperately needed to stay in college. She's been living hand to mouth ever since and has no intention of ever forgiving the man.
But the beautiful historic building they're renovating is exactly the kind of project that they both love best. Their surprising common ground and a burning mutual attraction start bringing them closer and closer to a potentially explosive mistake. And that's even before the secrets come out…
